General Shooting Session, Rondo Warm Up, 20 Minutes.

Organization: Small Square Area. 6/7/8 attackers & 2/3/4 defenders depending upon numbers. 20x30 ideal for larger numbers.

Instructions: Players are to constantly pass and move to keep the ball away from the defender. Game is directional with two target men on either end. Idea is to work the ball end to end, not just maintain possession. When defenders win the ball they try to maintain possession of it for as long as possible.

Coaching Points:

Penetrating pass is first option, with maintaining possession as the plan B.

1) Players must look for intelligent runs into space.

2) Players must have head up when they receive the ball and anticipate where their pass should go.

3) Constant movement, circulation and rotation.

4) Great communication and signalling is required.

5) Always offer support to the ball carrier.

6) 1-2 passes are a must, to get in behind defender.

7) Accurate passing is vital.

8) Always checking over shoulder, every second or so.

9) Should build to a lightning fast tempo.

10) All of the above coaching points are subtle extras if the group progression permists, the real coaching points are passing related and as follows;

Progressions:

1) Rectangular Rondo. 6v3/7v8 etc. Defenders are in the middle and can go anywhere but have to try to prevent the ball being played end to end.

2) Break out Rondo (after set amount of passes, players look to break out in to a second grid.

3) Rondo where excercises are introduce, ie, push up after every pass, etc.
